Qiao Xi looked at his hurriedly leaving figure and smiled wantonly. "You're frightened now that I brought up my husband! Weren't you just fierce to me a second ago?"
After Gu Zheng left, he specially closed the door for Qiao Xi. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall of the corridor and felt his face heat up. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask that could cover it, but the blush on his ears could not be concealed.
"President." Just then, Song Shijing walked over and said in a low voice, "Du Ming met Kang Qingzhi this morning."
"It's indeed her." Gu Zheng's voice was low and hoarse.
Song Shijing's heart trembled. He asked in a low voice, "Do you need my help?"
"There's no need. Kang Qingzhi will be handed to her to handle," Gu Zheng said casually, but the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. "Kang Qingzhi and Kang Jichuan will be handed to her to handle, while I'll handle the rest. Is Old Madam Kang also in Li City?"
Song Shijing replied respectfully, "Old Madam Kang will be in Li City soon. Kang Ru will pick her up personally. Moreover, their family will be eating at Fragrance Hotel in the afternoon."
Gu Zheng nodded, his eyes narrowing.
In the lounge, Qiao Xi looked at the time and walked out of the lounge to prepare for the competition. When she passed by the corridor, she happened to meet Kang Qingzhi.
Kang Qingzhi sized her up and realized that there was nothing wrong with her. Her gaze changed, and she smiled affectionately. "Sister Xi Xi, you're here too!"
Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks with an indifferent expression. "Is it very strange for me to be participating in the competition?"
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the corridor. Kang Qingzhi smiled proudly. "I knew that my sister would participate in the competition, but she must be very surprised to see me!"
Qiao Xi ran to the Kang family and caused a scene, exposing her for faking the competition. However, she still advanced in the end. Qiao Xi was probably about to die of anger!
"I'm indeed a little surprised," Qiao Xi said lightly.
"Sister Xi Xi…"
"Miss Kang, the competition is about to start. Are you sure you want to continue chatting with me here?" Qiao Xi coldly interrupted Kang Qingzhi and continued, "You won the championship for two consecutive competitions, so there should be many reporters waiting to interview you. Have you been following me because you want those reporters to notice me?"
Kang Qingzhi lowered her eyes slightly. She did not expect Qiao Xi to easily expose her intentions. However, she was puzzled. Where did Du Ming go? If he had entered Qiao Xi's lounge, how could Qiao Xi stand here unharmed?
However, she did not care what had happened to Du Ming and Qiao Xi. In any case, she already had a photo of Du Ming entering the lounge. No matter how outstanding Qiao Xi's results were this time, she would still be a sl*t who seduced a judge.
"Sister Xi Xi, I hope to see you in the finals!" Kang Qingzhi's eyes curved into crescents when she smiled. She looked very sweet, but she also concealed her true emotions.
Qiao Xi replied with a smile as the corners of her mouth twitched. "Thank you. I hope you can enter the finals as well."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi swiftly turned around and left. Two hours later, Qiao Xi handed in her work for the competition and walked out of the competition venue.
As soon as she arrived at the underground parking lot, Qiao Xi saw the man waiting beside the car from afar. Gu Zheng was really too eye-catching. He was tall and handsome. He was wearing a high-end suit as he stood beside the five million yuan luxury car. When he looked at her, his deep eyes were filled with a gentle smile. Everyone who passed by could not help but take a few more glances.
"It's been hard on you, Mrs. Gu. I heard that Fragrance Hotel has come up with a new menu. I've already booked a room. Let's go."
Qiao Xi did not expose Gu Zheng and nodded with a smile before obediently getting into the car.
On the other hand, Kang Ru picked up Old Madam Kang, who had come from afar, at the airport.
"Mom, Qingzhi is still at the event location of the perfume competition. She can't rush over. Jichuan is also arranging the release of the perfumes and can't come, but the two children said they want to have lunch together."
Kang Ru helped Old Madam Kang into the car and explained patiently.
Old Madam Kang naturally would not blame them. She even smiled affectionately. "Qingzhi and Jichuan are both good children. They can take charge of the perfume business at such a young age. We've invested more than eight billion yuan into the perfume business. We can only succeed this time. We can't fail!"
Kang Ru was a noble young master who did not know anything about business at all. In the past, the Kang family's business was managed by Old Master Kang. After he passed away, the Kang family's business went downhill as Kang Ru could not shoulder the burden. Old Madam Kang was also a rich madam who only knew how to shop and look good. As for Kang Qingzhi, she was weak and sick, so it was even more impossible for her to manage the company. In the end, Kang Jichuan, who had just come of age, could only take on this heavy responsibility.
